Growing up as an only child I was no stranger to doing things alone. Played with toys and rode my bike alone.
As an adult I took it to the next level and started traveling alone. That means meals and going to museums all alone. Being so used to solo dolo I thought why not do a wine tour alone too. An adventure typically done with couples or larger groups I was the only 1 of 1. You can learn all about that experience in Arrival: Untold Stories From A Black Womans Travels💕 Link in bio
Would you ever take a wine tour solo?

Arrival Mag Launch Part Feb 28, 2025

I have never done anything like this before. I’ve never released a magazine or any finished completed project out to the world before and I have never hosted any sort of event before either.

But what started out as a passion project, just a way for me to memorialize my memories I wanted to try something different, what if I put myself out there? After moving to Portland almost 6 months ago discovering a small business completely dedicated to magazines ChessClub the vision started to form.

I was scared though. What if no one was interested in the magazine, what if no one showed up to the launch party? I mean I am an unknown in this community why would people care? I decided to push past the fear that always has held me back and do it anyways.

On my birthday I launched the magazine online. I sold out of all the magazines online within 2 days. On my eventbrite I had 42 RSVPs and 30 showed up most of those people strangers. For my panelists I met all of them the week before the event. All of them responding to my requests for black women travelers and all of them willing to help out a stranger.

The last day of black history month, the day of my magazine launch party was a magical moment everything and everyone coming together. It filled my heart with joy to see the beginnings of a little community. I am so grateful.

Thank you to my lovely magazine sponsors:

Thank you to Andrew and Sid ChessClub for helping me execute the vision

Thank you to my panelists for sharing their amazing stories all of them truly uplifting and inspiring me to continue my journey.

Thank you to all who came out to the event and brought a friend.
Thank you to all who purchased a magazine!

Thank you to Chanel if it wasn’t for your help I truly wouldn’t have had the time to do any of this

Another thank you to my mom for flying out from South Carolina to support me and all of the other ways you supported me throughout this journey.

And a special thank you to my partner without your love and support I truly would have been too overwhelmed to do anything.
